BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Chris Turner's Festival Tweet

Comedian and freestyle rapper Chris Turner hosts this Edinburgh Festival Tweet of the Day.

Comedian Chris Turner is an established act at the Edinburgh Festival and elsewhere. Possibly less well known is his interest in birds, as this Tweet of the Day explores.

Chris Turner's quotable gags and rapid freestyle raps have established him as one of the most in-demand comedy acts on the circuit. Possibly less well known is his interest in birds. Thus for this Tweet of the Day, coinciding with his month long show at the Edinburgh Festival, Chris gives his own comedic view on those tweety-birds.
